The Scholar. Dutch World Champion (1935–1937) who defeated Alekhine. A mathematics professor who brought scientific rigor to chess preparation.
Max Euwe was a mathematics professor who became World Champion as an amateur, one of the most remarkable upsets in chess history, defeating the great Alekhine in 1935 through meticulous preparation and deep theoretical work. He lost the rematch in 1937 but remained a world-class player for decades. Later he became President of FIDE (1970–1978) and played a crucial diplomatic role in organizing the 1972 Fischer-Spassky World Championship match in Reykjavik.
Notable: The only World Champion who was simultaneously a professional in a different field. His two-volume 'Course of Chess' is considered one of the best instructional works ever written.
